Can't say I'm asking too much of it. All I want in my list are TV channels and movie genres. From the config menu, looks like ~80 channels.
Things I've done:
- Moved devices from Rpi 1 > AFTV > AFTV Stick > Rpi 2... issue remains on each device
- Set device type as Android and or Pi depending on device... no effect
- Completely uninstalled Kodi and PTVL, defaults work on first boot... guide freezes again on next run
- Gave up on my old .xml and had PTVL build its own... still locks up
- Disabled almost every PTVL setting that would take CPU/mem/internet... same issue
- Dropped playlist items from 100+ down to bare minimum... no change
- Switched up connection types, locations, etc... same issue
It'd be great if I could get this working on the AFTV considering I have several off them which I had hoped to use for this setup.
Current Device:
- Rooted AFTV w/ rbox OS
- Kodi 15.1 for ARM
- Wired/Wireless to network
- Media located on SMB share (mounted by IP)
What gives with this plugin? Is it not stable?
1. Downloaded Kodi Log Uploader
2. Enabled Kodi Debug Logging
3. Enabled PTVL Debug Logging
4. Shutdown Kodi & Rebooted AFTV
5. Re-launch Kodi followed by PTVL
6. Launch PTVL, wait for channel to start playing.
7. Open guide... complete lock up of PTVL (can still pause Kodi video but no way out of PTVL).
8. Attached my log here: http://xbmclogs.com/pcgla9bfl
Please advise on next steps or if further info is needed.
Thanks!
Anything else needed on these logs? Thanks!

1st of all, I want to thank the developer for having the time to develop this great addon!!
I'm new to kodi, and I use it to watch live TV (iptv), usually using PVR Simple Client, and everything works great! But here is where PTVL stand off, for me, it really gives the experience of live tv, with the simple and easy to use menu and EPG.
Now, the problem... I have a RPI2 with openelec (kodi 15.1), and It allways says "unable to populate channels". I''m a newbie, and I've been working on this for 2 days, and tried the following that found searching web:
- Clean Installation
- Deleted settings.xml and settings2.xml
- Remove and reinstall addon
- Added upnp
- Added pvr:// (although I don't know if it is working properly, because when I added UPNP, kodi itself gave the name of the source, witch doesn't happened with pvr://)
- Checked webserver enabled
I have a m3u list with channels witch is working ok in Simple Client, and if I understand right, PseudoTV will fetch those channels from pvr:// source right? Or is there a way to insert directly the m3u file to populate channels??
Thanks in advance for all help.

I've been waiting to give my feedback for 0.6.5+ for a few weeks now. I usually give a glowing review and eventually find a bug a few days later but this isn't the case anymore. The past few updates have been phenomenal! The improvements made to USTV integration and the overall reliability of the program makes me believe that PTVL is getting close to becoming stable. Also, the set reminder function that just came out a few hours ago (0.6.6f) works incredibly well. I know you don't hear it enough but THANKS!
Brevity should never equate to rudeness.
